Absolutely not. The problem is/was will be no-knock assaults on the private property of citizens.
Everything in this case smacks of police conspiracy, failure or intentional misleading statements of fact, judges assuming cops are telling the truth, CIs who are already suspect ( ought to require two or three witnesses to stablish any fact, as in the Bible).
Once the fireworks start, everything and everybody is expendable under this police paradigm.
even if there were illegal controlled substances truly found at this home, it has little to do with your meme of the WOD. I am of the opinion that the cops likely knew they screwed up big time and made certain there were suspicious things “found” to throw off the dogs of truth. Problem is, just as forensics do in criminals, it also does in the cops ( but I repeat myself in this case, as the evidence is clearly showing).
For many years Goines apparently has been on the take, working his own gig. TX/Feds really ought to be looking closely at his finances.
In order for the real drug houses to stay in business and continue to pay bribes to the various law enforcement and investigation agencies, the dealers have CI’s roll over on other low-end users.
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — The Houston police officer at the center of the botched drug raid has been shot twice before. The facts of one of those shootings changed dramatically in the days after it.
Senior Officer Gerald Goines, 54, was shot in 1992 and 1997.
In 1992, Houston police said Goines had just completed a narcotics transaction when he stopped to urinate on a tree. The homeowner, who was worried about burglars, walked outside and spoke to Goines. Moments later, police said at the time, he returned with a pistol. Goines was shot in the jaw.
In 1997, what was first believed to be a narcotics bust turned out to be a deadly case of road rage on the Southwest Freeway, according to police. Days after the shooting that left Goines injured and another man, Reginald Dorsey, dead, police said the two were competing for space on the freeway. Dorsey pulled out a gun. Both men fired. Goines was shot in the arm and abdomen.
I'm not sure what you're saying here - how is this not part of the WOD?
